have you ever been jealous with your sister?

I get on well with my sister though sometimes I do feel jealous of her since she is more beautiful. On the other hand, I find my balance since I am smarter, lol. Oh, well, I am being narcissistic somehow.

i have a younger sister, 11 years younger to be exact. i love her and we get along well- now that we are both married and have children we have more in common and i am sure that helps. but i have to admit i get jealous of her alot lately. i don't know if it's jealous of her of of her situation. she and her husband and 6-month old twins are living with my parents right now. my brother and i were angry when we found out, but i am pretty much over that now. now i just get jealous at times. she is a great mom- more patient than i could ever be. but she does not work, and i do, and sometimes i would love to be able to not have to work. i guess what really bothers me is that she has the opportunity for my parents to be helping her out every day with her kids. since she lives with them, i know that they will watch the twins if she has errands to run, or while she takes a shower, or whatever. i know that she doesn't take advantage of them, but i get so jealous of that! my boys are 3 and 1, and i feel so stressed some days and would love to just have someone here to watch them for 10 minutes while i take a shower in peace, not worrying about what they are getting into, are they killing eachother, etc. or the opportunity to go out and run errands without having to drag them with me every single time. my dad was coming over last year for a while, like once a week, and would sit with the boys all morning while i did things, but he stopped doing that. i am not sure why, but i miss it. and my mom never really comes over, which hurts. but that makes me even more jealous of the fact that my sister gets not only their help, but their time, and gets to see them every day.

Oh yeah, I've been jealous of my sisters for different reasons. My younger sister seems to be a favorite of my parents--so of course I'm jealous of that. And one of my older sisters has a wonderful life; good husband, beautiful house, handsome/healthy little baby, she's beautiful, a job she loves...man! Jealousy! lol. But this jealousy doesn't have an 'ugly head'...I am very happy for my sister, and I love her :) She deserves the life she has.

I can honestly say that I have never been jealous of my sister. I think it might be the other way around. My sister and I are 2 different people. She is older than me, but we can never have that good sister bond because of her behavior and attititde. It's really sad too. She's the only sibling that I have. Just when we start to get along, she starts acting kind of crazy.

My sisters and I are gettling along well with one another. we care about one another, so we don't have any sibling jealousy in our family. But to tell the truth, one of my brothers seemed so. When I was young, in a primary school, I was quite good at studying any subject and often praised by my teachers and parents. My parents really love me. I was a good girl, but my brother was naughty, poor in his study, so he was often criticized. He felt really a little unbalanced when he was young. Now he's grown up and kind to me, we are getting along well with each other.

As the younger sister, I looked up to my older sister. I wanted to be just like her. But as much as I wanted to be like her....that's how different we were. She was the "good" one. I was the hellion. She was the "straight A student". I averaged C's. You get the idea. All of our parent's friends would always take to Pam so easily. They thought she was the greatest thing since sliced bread. I, on the other hand, was the "problem" child. This was especially true of our neighbors who lived across the street from us. One year, they gave my sister a very special painting the husband had done. It was of a young girl in olden times standing on a street corner. The signs for the streets were named after Pam....her first name and last name. We all thought it was beautiful and I couldn't wait to see what I was going to get for my birthday. A few days before the event, I overheard my mother and her friend talking about my birthday. When my mother realized that the woman hadn't gotten me a present, she insisted that she do so, stating that her daughters weren't going to be treated differently. When my birthday arrived, the lady brought me a volleyball. I thanked her for it, took it outside, stuck a pin through it and deflated it before throwing it out into the yard. Then I walked back inside, past my mother and her friend and into my room. After the neighbor left, my mother insisted on finding out why I had acted the way I did. Even though I was mischevious I was never rude to adults because that got me into serious trouble with my mom. When I explained that I had overheard them talking and that I didn't want a present that was given to me because my mother made her do it, my mom was pretty cool about it all. Still, I can remember being so jealous of the fact that all the older people thought Pam was so great and I wasn't. It's funny. Now that we are both grown with families of our own, we have talked about our childhood days. How close we were and all that and jealousy has been brought up. It's funny to know that she was just as jealous of me as I was of her. Who would have guessed? Certainly not me.

No, I don't believe there was anything or anyone that my sister and I were jealous of together. Oooohhhh....I think you mean jealous of. Well, yes. I was jealous of my sister. I was jealous of her being able to let her hair grow long...I always had short hair and it curled up.... I was jealous of her getting good grades. I was jealous of her being able to travel with the high school Jazz Band. I honestly don't know if there was anything about me or what I did that my sister was jealous about. My sister and I now get along pretty well. Better than we did for many years. I'm grateful for that, too.

i think it happens specially when we are childrens we feel more secured when parents concentrate on us and we feel bad if they support our others brothers and sisiters more. but i dont think that the parents do any kind of partiality to childrens as i am a mother of a small son now and they always equally love their children. yes i agree that sometimes they support the other brothers and sisiters may it is required and hence they do it and we are not so matured enough to understand them and might be they may be angry on on us and hence they do it but never the love us more or less and equally love all childrens. i have three brothers and i am the only sister and i know that my parents support me more but it is not that they dont care for other of my brothers they do it equally and the way to show their love only differs and i think it is required as the stages of all children are not the same one is grown and one is smaller and i my house too me and my elder brother had more responsibilities and my other two younger brothers need more care and we use to do it and i think it is natural that we having this feeling of parents doing partiality and it is only our immaturity which make us think this and nothing else. so my friend i hope you agree with me and i everytime pray that a family should be always together and it is to you too.

it may sound wack but ive never been jealous of any of my siblings! im the middle child i have an older sister and an older brother and two very young baby sister one is 4yo and the other only 9 months! growing up it was just three of us and we never got in to each others business we all lived our lives sepratly my sister with her friend my brother at his girlfriends house and me with my ppl just hanging out having a good time! no one was ever jealous of any one cuz we wwerent close and if our mom did something for one of us she did it for all three. You can say she was fair with all of us!

oohghhhhh sibling rivalry :) when i was a child i do admit that i feel really jealous of my sister. i am her older sister and i am also blamed for the mistakes she do. i must always compensate her deficiencies and that irritates me before. i also do hate the feeling that she is oftentimes favored over me. however, come my college years, we grew closer. she is a teenager and is asking about love advices and school works. i became interested in helping her out. our petty fights were resolved. but it took us some 10 years before we finally became close. i guess it is normal for sisters (siblings) to feel hatred and jealousy. i mean rivalries happen because parents compare their children

I've also in this kind of situ but the best advice that I could give to you is to remove this kind of feeling to your sister and fill it up with positive feeling. Jealousy, as with my experience, will lead you to more mess beyond than what you think right now. Trash all the things that happened between the two of you. Those are previous chapters of your life and that should never be reopened anymore.

For two weeks of the month my sis and I are the same age, but in reality, I am the oldest. When we were younger, my sister was skinny freckled and very insecure. I was totally opposite. She had few friends and they came easy to me, in both sexes. I would have to say that we rarely spoke our childhood away because of jealousy and profound differences. When she got pregnant at the age of 16, I assumed it was a way to get out of the house, and have something that I did not. Now as we have aged many decades, it is amazing how much alike we really are. We live 2000 miles away, so talk mostly on-line. Seems much of our growing up , life's choices , etc. have been very similar even though we were miles apart. Funny how similar differences turn out to be!

Oh i get jealous once in a while, when she was born i was at the age of 4 and she attracted the most attention making jealous and still, wen i was 13 because of her whinging and whining everyday, we would constantly give something to her to stop her from crying which wouldn't last long!

Yes, I have been jealous of my sister. My mother always favored her more than me and my brother. She was always sick, and very insecure. I think most of her illnesses were imagined or made up to get attention. I learned to stand on my own and have always been fairly healthy. On the other hand, I sensed that my sister was jealous of me because I didn't need my mother or other people as much as she did. I have never been jealous to the point of wishing I were her, I'm happy being me...

I sometimes felt envious than jealous. I envy her because she is intelligent she is good in Math and she have a talent when it comes to playing music instrument. On the other side I don't know if she envy me too because I also have different talent. But that enviousness is with different level and I think it is on the good side. When it comes to our parents, of taking of us, I think they both took care of us and we all know parents love and guide their children.Me and my sister share everything under the sun so jealousy is at least and never been a problem.

I have a twin sister and ever since i was a kid i never had any circumstances wherein i could say that i got jealous with her for anything or something . I am not the jealous type of person i consider everything or anything that is happening to us as something that it should be so never i get jealous of her not even once .

Ha ha, yes I was at times jealous of my Sis... She was the younger one & the cuter one (in my opinion - but she says I'm the cuter one now! :) - & is jealous of me being thin! lol I still think she's prettier than me!) I think some sibling rivalry is normal. We do love each other & even if we bicker sometimes, when it matters we really stand up for each other & help each other etc.

I have a sister who is only two years younger than me and growing up we always used to fight...and I don't mean little scraps I mean full on cat fights. I've always put it down to the fact we used to share a room and had too much in common so we would often fight about who bought that new CD by so and so or who should by a certain magazine. When I look back on it it's just daft but as a child I didn't really know any better. And yes I often was jealous of my sister...now occasionally I think to myself isn't she lucky in somethings but then I look at my situation in life and realise I have other things going for me that she does not. We do get on better now we have both grown up and have put our similar tastes in music and clothes to good use..For example my friends hate rock music but my sister loves it so to help us bond and get over the hard times as kids we often enjoy going to gigs and watching bands play.

Yes. When I was a kid I was jealous of my younger sister, because I thought my mom loves her more than me. Because of that reason I use to fight with her often. That didn't happen with my elder sister as she was a very loving and caring person from the day I can remember even though she was only 1 year older than me. Later when I grew up I realized that mom had to give more attention because my younger sister was very much younger than I. Later I did not feel jealous of her. Now all 3 of us are together in happy times and bad times both. We are so close that no one can break our bond.
